Emergency services were called to Market Street in South Normanton just after 22:10 BST on Thursday following a report a bench was alight.

Derbyshire Police said the fire then spread to some nearby tarpaulin, causing significant damage.

The force has urged anyone who saw anything suspicious between 22:00 BST and midnight, or has CCTV or dashcam footage, to come forward.
